Reupping this thread on absenteeism because so many takes are currently wrong - why? Because they take no account of what we have learned from hundreds of disasters that have affected children and young people….

A 🧵 for schools using Amazon to stock up your library:

A couple of weeks ago we received a lovely order from a primary school near us. Big list! Varied! Good stuff on there!

We have always operated a sliding scale discount for schools - bigger orders = bigger saving…

I saw this tweet earlier.

It's awful.

I'm donating £100 towards books to send to the school.

I've also added something to the website to maybe raise a bit more dosh.

If anyone can contribute, that would be amazing.

Thanks.

RTs appreciated.
